  1. We get the basic on/off stuff working. However, there is a problem when the packets get too big (more than 1492) if the transport layer is UDP. This happens when the initial NOTIFY lists all buddies - then the UDP packet gets fragmented and the phone cannot use it. Switching to TCP transport layer seems to solve that problem.

     

    Our problem is that in the beginning things look fine, then after some time the display gets kind of garbeled. That might relate to the firmware version that we are using. It seems to happen after the first few calls, but I think that was fixed in on of the latest firmware releases. Did not have the time to upgrade to one of these releases yet.

  2. I would start monitoring one or two extensions first, this avoids problems with too long messages. XML tends to become very long

     

    So far I have seen only on/off states in the leds. The dialog-state based BLF is IMHO not able to provide features like pickup. If you have a packet trace that shows how to make the Polycom start blinking that would be very interesting.

  3. Hunt groups don't call external numbers on the hunt stages, and they also don't follow extension redirects.

     

    Having external numbers in a hunt group is asking for trouble. In FXO, many gateways will connect the call immediately (playing ringback tone or just comfort noise). And cell phones tend to get offline (driving in a tunnel or user goes to bed), then the mailbox picks up and connects the call immediately. And calling a busy PSTN line in many cases goes to some kind of IVR (mailbox, busy annoucement) and also connect the call immediately.

     

    When the PBX calls a SIP extension, it can avoid all of that and have the hunt group doing something predictable and supportable.

  4. If I were technically capable, I think adding some SNOM action URL's to the PBXnSIP web server to do some cool stuff like this would be a real plus. The SNOM web - wiki speaks of this exact example, but we simply don't want to go about creating 1-off solutions.

     

    The address book button goes to the PBX address book. At least something!

  5. The purpose of that SUBSCRIBE was to get information about the hook state of the phone. This should be obsolete in the latest and the greatest version (2.1.2), so in theory if that was the problem that problem should disappear by itself...

     

    Any chance to get a core dump? By looking at the raw memory it should be possible to see what is occupying the memory...

  6. I am using the External Voice Mail system settings for Exchange. Does this defeat the Mailbox direct Dial Prefix?

     

    Yes. In this case you should directly call the Exchange with a different prefix that you are using in the dial plan to call Exchange. For example, if you are using 999* in the dial plan to send calls to the Exchange trunk, then dial 999123 if 123 is your account.

  7. I think the best way to deal with this is to have a "personal hunt group" that is sitting in front of the extension. The only member in this hunt group is your personal extension. There you can define that you can send calls after hours directly to your voicemail (e.g. 8123 is you personal extension is 123 and the domain direct mailbox prefix is 8). People would call that hunt group from the auto attendant.

  8. When a hunt goup is calling the extension, it does not use the auto attendant to do this (the auto attendant also calls the cell phone). This was done by intention - if a hunt group would also call the cell users would not use the cell feature as they would get called for every group call. BTW the same is the case for call redirect on busy/timeout/always, the hunt group does not follow those redirections.

     

    There is a trick that you can use to make the PBX call the cell phone all the time: Add a static registration with the SIP address of the gateway (e.g. sip:2121234567@ip-of-gateway). Then the PBX will send absolutely every call to the cell phone. But be careful with this feature: If you have a large hunt group, every call to that group will send a lot of new calls to your gateway.

  9. Well, you can always use a hunt group to address a user. The real extension number is "hidden", just used to really ring the extension when it is time to do so. If you want to route directly to the mailbox, you can put the mailbox prefix in from of the extension number.

     

    The cell phone redirection feature has the day/nightmode that you are talking of. Maybe you can use the Exchange number to implement the behavior if you provision the cell phone with the Exchange account.

  10. Well the purpose of the ringback tone is to indicate the caller to pay close attention now as probably one of the agents is running to the phone to grab the call. Music on hold says relax, this might take a while.

     

    What you can do is record something in prompt 0 of the queue, maybe something like "welcome to xxx, we are talking your call very serious. Did you know we have a new product". Then the caller will hear MoH and will be happy that there is a agent ready for him right away.

     

    Callers are usually delighted if they don't have to listen to MoH for too long...
